They're all so tall, even accounting for them wearing heels, Smolorado is 5'4" (average height for an American woman, and tall for Japan)
Meanwhile the hotels are almost 6'4"(!).

Smolorado?

always imagined Colorado closer to 140 than to 170

I really like it as a kind of ironically cute holdover ship characteristic, it's like when an animal character transforms into a human but still has the ears & tail, except because they're ships it's size.
Plus if the time I lived in Nagoya is any indication, Japanese women over 6' tall aren't as vanishingly rare as most people assume.

Yeah, I have my doubts. 6'5" (the artist's official height) is a full 6 standard deviations above the average height for a Japanese woman. That would make them taller than 99.9999999% of women, and given Japan's population of 125 million, it is statistically unlike for there to be even one woman that tall in the whole country (barring exceptions like gigantism).

It's pretty sweet the artist made YamaMusa the average height of an NBA player
